This is KaiserJeep. I have been unable to use my user name and account since attempting to change my E-Mail address.

It changed, alright - from redacted , to redacted , which is a real and working account I have been using on my android tablet for two years. However I did not get the activation message that confirmed the new E-mail address as valid. Two attempts to use the "Resend Activation E-Mail" did not work either. I can no longer log on because my account was "inactivated" until the "Activation E-Mail" is responded to.

Note that the same process completed successfully at two other online Forums and several shopping web sites. Only PO.com fails.

So I registered a new user "KJisAnnoyed" using my old work e-mail redacted which did work. However since that represents a new user, I cannot use the PM function to talk to a Moderator or Admin. Nor will the hp.com e-mail be usable by me past my retirement date of May 31.

Pretty neat Catch-22 you have set up. Would somebody please reactivate my old account so I can use it?

Nope, you don't have a choice - once you save the changes, your account is deactivated, until the activation E-Mail confirms that your new E-Mail account is real.

I found the account activation messages in my SPAM folder, finally - there is something about the format of the PO.com activation message that triggers the Android Gmail app's SPAM filter - with all the default filter settings. Two other Forums I participate in use very similar software, but did not trigger the Gmail SPAM filter, using the same account name. Likewise I changed all my NetFlix, Amazon, etc. online shopping account E-Mail account names without a hitch.

I check about twenty sites every day, using Safari. Safari works fine on all the others but generally will lock up when trying to read this site--a window opens that says that websites are not responding and I have to click on Force Reload to load the site. That works until I try to click on something on the site or move the slide cursor, then I get the lockup again.

I used to think that I'd have to wait until the site (read: advertisements) had loaded fully before trying to do anything but even that turns out not to be the case.

This is fairly new. Any suggestions?

No idea, personally. I use Firefox with a host of addons (Disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere, NoScript [javascript allowed], BetterPrivacy, Privacy Badger and uBlock) and have no problems.
